Autobiography: My Mum

may 11, 2003... a day that i remembered.. we were celebrating mothers' day with mum, dad and my siblings (usual like any others)... it is the last family celebration with my mum. (not sure why i remembered this day, probably my birthday which was the following day). mum told us that she was going to see specialist at Alexandra Hospital the following week... i always felt closer to her than my siblings since young. i could sense that she always took special care of me... maybe i was the one that was always sick (suffering asthma attacks), getting most sprains, most cuts and most playful... the weakest in health. ---- during primary 3, i recalled that i was hospitalised (almost dead) because of asthma attacks. she would stay with me through the few nights, taking intense care of me. she would piggy-back me around. ---- although she would nag, shout and scold, and at times, i find her annoying... i really miss her voice now. Aug 12, 2003 around 3am, my wife and i woke up together... i

华文, 华语, 還是讲money

华文, 英文, 华语, 英语... 不知何时...我爱上华文... 因该是漫画的影响...真的有点后悔...GCE 'O' B3 for Chinese Language...not A1, comics should come earlier...not after 'O' level. 现在都是抱着华文书...又睡着了...

当我老了

i have been doing a lot of thinking lately... fm100.3 'hit' it this morning after reading this verse from one article. 当我老了,不再是原来的我.请理解我,对我有一点耐心。 当我把菜汤洒在自己衣服上时,当我忘记怎样系鞋带时,请想一想当初我是如何手把手地教你。 当我一遍又一遍地重复你早已听腻的话语时,请耐心地听我说,不要打断我。你小的时候,我不得不重复那个讲过千百遍的故事,直到你进入梦乡。 当我需要你帮我洗澡时,请不要责备我。还记得小时候我千方百计哄你洗澡的情形吗? 当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时,请不要嘲笑我。想一想当初我怎样耐心地回答你的每一个“为什么”。 当我由于双腿疲劳而无法行走时,请伸出你年轻有力的手搀扶我。就像你小时候学习走路时,我扶你那样。 当我忽然忘记我们谈话的主题,请给我一些时间让我回想。其实对我来说,谈论什么并不重要,只要你能在一旁听我说,我就很满足。 当你看着老去的我,请不要悲伤。理解我,支持我,就像你刚开始学习如何面对生活时我对你那样。当初我引导你走上人生路,如今请陪伴我走完最后的路。给我你的爱和耐心,我会报以感激的微笑,这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱。 摘自《参考消息》 哭吧...心情会好些...

finally back (with a twist)

the short 8 days high-key reservist really flies... nothing much except for a really slow and 'problematic' combat live firing... suppose to end 11pm, it ended at 2am... gotten my migraine twice in-camp...how great...failed IPPT as usual. the twist is really a 'twist'... i mean a sprain on the neck since last friday... just saw a doc today... next year will be my last in-camp... counting down to August 2008... 0808...

serving the nation for the 9th time

tomorrow will mark my 9th year serving the nation since my ORD on 29 Jan 1997... how time flies... i look forward to this once in a year (or maybe twice or thrice) gathering with our buddies... minus the IPPT, every other thing is great... 1) you get the feeling of brotherhood (once in a year fren is like long-lost fren); 2) your mind is 'switch off'. you are no longer the 'boss' of your company; 3) you learn and polish on BIG2 skills; 4) you sweat more than usual and swear more than usual; 5) you sleep much earlier than usual but get up much earlier too; 6) you change the army uniform only when you booked out; 7) you can take naps in afternoon; 8) you can sleep anywhere and sh*t anywhere in green; 9) you get meal (upgraded to set meal) free, comes with 3 dishes, soup, fruits (and maybe ice-cream) and; 10) you see all walks of life here... the same old keng king, sabo king, xiao-on king, etc. soon this will be over (another year) and i hope we strengthen this brotherhoo
